Lunar Wilderness - Between the Buried and Me

Many days and fewer nights… so I’m told

I’ve lost my time years ago… so I’m told

The explaining.

The whispered words

This will be the hardest part… so I’m told

I wish my mind would work… unfold

The explaining.

The whispered words

The front door opened to the look of death.

Will this make sense?

Will this be comforting at all?

The questions dive in day and night.

Nothing we can do.

Nothing I can do

Twists and turns must be answered

I hit land… so it seems

The dirt chokes up my legs… strong air then shoots down my throat

Sensory overload in an instant of sense

Charting through old water that I pushed away to drown

Into another

To find and be found

This is what I’ve set out to do.

Where is this door?

The constant movement of my eyes.

I can feel, but I can’t open the lids.

The back of my skin is scarred, torn and broken

A reflection of what I’ve seen.

(What have I become?)

They let these people recreate.

Maybe I should have ended it all

Too, too late?

Too, too late?

Moving forward is a must

Dig deep

Commence sleep

Dig deep

Commence sleep inside sleep

Dig deep

Commence sleep inside sleep

Silence

(An out of focus picture brings up a familiar scenario: Three people fill the

room.

There seems to be a fourth, but very small.

We are speaking about some

sort of mission.

My mouth won’t stop moving… talking way too much.

Even through the blur I can feel their stares.

This one sided discussion seems

to be about what I am preventing.

Is this a sign?

Too late… I’ve said it

before.

The people then disappear.

I look about and the western sky seems to be

red… alone.

I can smell burning flesh… scorched life.

I turn around and the

face of death stares so grim that the lids finally open…)

I come to

I’m close… Very close.

But something isn’t right

A horrifying realization is swept over me

Home

The empty space of home

All I’ve known is gone

All I’ve loved is lost

Silence

Home

The empty space of home

All I’ve known is gone

All I’ve loved is lost

Silence

Home

The empty space of home

All I’ve known is gone

All I’ve loved is lost

Silence
